In https://github.com/koverstreet/bcachefs/issues/450, we're seeing
unexplained btree_path_relock_fail events - according to the information
currently in the tracepoint, it appears the relock should be succeeding.
This adds lock counts to the tracepoint to help track it down.

As suggested by Linus, this drops the six_lock_state union in favor of
raw bitmasks.
On the one hand, bitfields give more type-level structure to the code.
However, a significant amount of the code was working with
six_lock_state as a u64/atomic64_t, and the conversions from the
bitfields to the u64 were deemed a bit too out-there.
More significantly, because bitfield order is poorly defined (#ifdef
__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD can be used, but is gross), incrementing the
sequence number would overflow into the rest of the bitfield if the
compiler didn't put the sequence number at the high end of the word.
The new code is a bit saner when we're on an architecture without real
atomic64_t support - all accesses to lock->state now go through
atomic64_*() operations.
On architectures with real atomic64_t support, we additionally use
atomic bit ops for setting/clearing individual bits.
Text size: 7467 bytes -> 4649 bytes - compilers still suck at
bitfields.

Now, any open_bucket can go on the partial list: allocating from the
partial list has been moved to its own dedicated function,
open_bucket_add_bucets() -> bucket_alloc_set_partial().
In particular, this means that erasure coded buckets can safely go on
the partial list; the new location works with the "allocate an ec bucket
first, then the rest" logic.

Now that we have much more efficient updates to the LRU btree, this
patch adds a new LRU that indexes buckets by fragmentation.
This means copygc no longer has to scan every bucket to find buckets
that need to be evacuated.
Changes:
- A new field in bch_alloc_v4, fragmentation_lru - this corresponds to
the bucket's position in the fragmentation LRU. We add a new field
for this instead of calculating it as needed because we may make the
fragmentation LRU optional; this field indicates whether a bucket is
on the fragmentation LRU.
Also, zoned devices will introduce variable bucket sizes; explicitly
recording the LRU position will be safer for them.
- A new copygc path for using the fragmentation LRU instead of
scanning every bucket and building up an in-memory heap.

This adds support for nocow mode, where we do writes in-place when
possible. Patch components:
- New boolean filesystem and inode option, nocow: note that when nocow
is enabled, data checksumming and compression are implicitly disabled
- To prevent in-place writes from racing with data moves
(data_update.c) or bucket reuse (i.e. a bucket being reused and
re-allocated while a nocow write is in flight, we have a new locking
mechanism.
Buckets can be locked for either data update or data move, using a
fixed size hash table of two_state_shared locks. We don't have any
chaining, meaning updates and moves to different buckets that hash to
the same lock will wait unnecessarily - we'll want to watch for this
becoming an issue.
- The allocator path also needs to check for in-place writes in flight
to a given bucket before giving it out: thus we add another counter
to bucket_alloc_state so we can track this.
- Fsync now may need to issue cache flushes to block devices instead of
flushing the journal. We add a device bitmask to bch_inode_info,
ei_devs_need_flush, which tracks devices that need to have flushes
issued - note that this will lead to unnecessary flushes when other
codepaths have already issued flushes, we may want to replace this with
a sequence number.
- New nocow write path: look up extents, and if they're writable write
to them - otherwise fall back to the normal COW write path.
XXX: switch to sequence numbers instead of bitmask for devs needing
journal flush
XXX: ei_quota_lock being a mutex means bch2_nocow_write_done() needs to
run in process context - see if we can improve this

Previously, copygc needed to walk the entire extents & reflink btrees to
find extents that needed to be moved.
Now that we have backpointers, this patch implements
bch2_evacuate_bucket() in the move code, which copygc now uses for
evacuating mostly empty buckets.
Also, thanks to the new backpointers code, copygc can now move btree
nodes.

This adds a new method of doing btree updates - a straight write buffer,
implemented as a flat fixed size array.
This is only useful when we don't need to read from the btree in order
to do the update, and when reading is infrequent - perfect for the LRU
btree.
This will make LRU btree updates fast enough that we'll be able to use
it for persistently indexing buckets by fragmentation, which will be a
massive boost to copygc performance.
Changes:
- A new btree_insert_type enum, for btree_insert_entries. Specifies
btree, btree key cache, or btree write buffer.
- bch2_trans_update_buffered(): updates via the btree write buffer
don't need a btree path, so we need a new update path.
- Transaction commit path changes:
The update to the btree write buffer both mutates global, and can
fail if there isn't currently room. Therefore we do all write buffer
updates in the transaction all at once, and also if it fails we have
to revert filesystem usage counter changes.
If there isn't room we flush the write buffer in the transaction
commit error path and retry.
- A new persistent option, for specifying the number of entries in the
write buffer.

We've outgrown our own deadlock avoidance strategy.
The btree iterator API provides an interface where the user doesn't need
to concern themselves with lock ordering - different btree iterators can
be traversed in any order. Without special care, this will lead to
deadlocks.
Our previous strategy was to define a lock ordering internally, and
whenever we attempt to take a lock and trylock() fails, we'd check if
the current btree transaction is holding any locks that cause a lock
ordering violation. If so, we'd issue a transaction restart, and then
bch2_trans_begin() would re-traverse all previously used iterators, but
in the correct order.
That approach had some issues, though.
- Sometimes we'd issue transaction restarts unnecessarily, when no
deadlock would have actually occured. Lock ordering restarts have
become our primary cause of transaction restarts, on some workloads
totally 20% of actual transaction commits.
- To avoid deadlock or livelock, we'd often have to take intent locks
when we only wanted a read lock: with the lock ordering approach, it
is actually illegal to hold _any_ read lock while blocking on an intent
lock, and this has been causing us unnecessary lock contention.
- It was getting fragile - the various lock ordering rules are not
trivial, and we'd been seeing occasional livelock issues related to
this machinery.
So, since bcachefs is already a relational database masquerading as a
filesystem, we're stealing the next traditional database technique and
switching to a cycle detector for avoiding deadlocks.
When we block taking a btree lock, after adding ourself to the waitlist
but before sleeping, we do a DFS of btree transactions waiting on other
btree transactions, starting with the current transaction and walking
our held locks, and transactions blocking on our held locks.
If we find a cycle, we emit a transaction restart. Occasionally (e.g.
the btree split path) we can not allow the lock() operation to fail, so
if necessary we'll tell another transaction that it has to fail.
Result: trans_restart_would_deadlock events are reduced by a factor of
10 to 100, and we'll be able to delete a whole bunch of grotty, fragile
code.

Instead of overloading standard error codes (EINTR/EAGAIN), and defining
short lists of error codes in multiple places that potentially end up
overlapping & conflicting, we're now going to have one master list of
error codes.
Error codes are defined with an x-macro: thus we also have
bch2_err_str() now.
Also, error codes have a class field. Now, instead of checking for
errors with ==, code should use bch2_err_matches(), which returns true
if the error is equal to or a sub-error of the error class.
This means we can define unique errors for every source location where
an error is generated, which will help improve our error messages.

This behavior dates from the early, early days of bcache, and upon
further delving appears to not make any sense. The shrinker only works
in terms of 'objects' of unknown size; normalizing to pages only had the
effect of changing the batch size, which we could do directly - if we
wanted; we probably don't. Normalizing to pages meant our batch size was
very small, which seems to have been keeping us from doing as much
shrinking as we should be under heavy memory pressure; this patch
appears to alleviate some OOMs we've been seeing.

In the old allocator code, buckets would be discarded just prior to
being used - this made sense in bcache where we were discarding buckets
just after invalidating the cached data they contain, but in a
filesystem where we typically have more free space we want to be
discarding buckets when they become empty.
This patch implements the new behaviour - it checks the need_discard
btree for buckets awaiting discards, and then clears the appropriate
bit in the alloc btree, which moves the buckets to the freespace btree.
Additionally, discards are now enabled by default.

Now that we have new persistent data structures for the allocator, this
patch converts the allocator to use them.
Now, foreground bucket allocation uses the freespace btree to find
buckets to allocate, instead of popping buckets off the freelist.
The background allocator threads are no longer needed and are deleted,
as well as the allocator freelists. Now we only need background tasks
for invalidating buckets containing cached data (when we are low on
empty buckets), and for issuing discards.

- Updates to non key cache iterators will now be transparently

- Except when creating new keys: then the update goes to underlying

For for iterating over a cached btree to work, we need to ensure that if
a key exists in the key cache, it also exists in the btree - otherwise
the iterator code will skip past it and not check the key cache.
Otherwise, for consistency, all updates should go to the same place -
